Book excerpt: William Adams Vale was one of the earliest photographers in Southern California. While residing in San Bernardino, Vale traveled throughout the region and along the stagecoach routes to Los Angeles and San Diego. He was active from circa 1870 to the late 1880s working in many formats: stereoview, carte de visite and large-size images. Most of Vale's images are very rare, known by just a single example in private and institutional collections. Although his surviving output is small ... just a few dozen images ... his subject matter and content is extremely interesting. Vale photographed engine no. 1 of the California Southern Railroad, schools (front cover), mining and lumber operations, vineyard and the olive orchard of Thomas Davies on the San Diego mission grounds, Indians on the courthouse steps in San Bernardino, the Cucamonga stagecoach stop, Chinese labor, resorts, ranch houses and more.Forty-six fascinating historical photographs are illustrated in this 40-page book, a number full-page. Each is believed to be published for the first time. There are 8 stereoviews reproduced (7 full-size) that can be seen in three-dimensions with a viewer (not included). Full-page enlargements of some stereoviews are provided to see detail.The informative text includes biographical information and rare portraits of Vale and his family. It also discusses the era of early photography as reflected in Vale's career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Adams (1823 – 1904) is probably best known from his locomotive designs for the London & South Western Railway. The years at Nine Elms were the culmination of career which began formally in marine engineering, including a period at sea with the Royal Sardinian Navy, encompassed civil engineering and surveying before joining the North London Railway as locomotive, carriage and wagon superintendent. He has been described as the father of the suburban train, an inventive engineer, who pioneered the use of continuous train brakes, developed well designed, free-steaming locomotive boilers for services requiring rapid acceleration and frequent stops, and his invention of a bogie with controlled side-play revolutionized future locomotive design. His next move was to the Great Eastern Railway where his designs met with mixed success, before moving south of the Thames to Nine Elms. Here, over five hundred locomotives were built to his designs, with his later express classes regarded by many as his greatest achievement. Adams also proved himself a very capable designer in developing locomotive and carriage works at all three railways, improving efficiency and reducing costs. This book tells the story of a genial man with a love of music, who was undoubtedly one of the finest late Victorian locomotive engineers.
